Cannes bans large cruise ships from 2026 to reduce overtourism and protect the environment.

Cannes will ban cruise ships carrying over 1,000 passengers from its harbor starting in 2026 to combat overtourism and environmental concerns, allowing only ships with fewer than 1,000 passengers, with a daily limit of 6,000 disembarking. Larger ships must use smaller boats to transfer passengers. This move aims to balance tourism benefits with environmental issues, similar to recent limits imposed in Nice.
